COrOnal Notes.

Lad again takes up his pen, but it is with
fear and trembling, Last year he made his
bow, this year he again greets his friends
and begs welcome.
A social at Judge Woods on Friday night
was enjoyed by number of school girls
and boys-boys mostly.
With reluctance we said adios to two
school girl friends. Misses BERTHE Callen-
der, and Lille Green, the one to return to
her home in Victoria, the other to attend
the Southwestern University.
We do not believe in monopolies, but
hardly think it fair for one of our Coronal
teachers 10 infringe on the rights and take
custom from the professional men OF San
Marcos. The other day, Miss Rosa, dis
covering one of her little scholars suffering
with an acking tooth, took her upstairs and
skillfully extracted it. Who calls her "chick-
en-hearted"
Andrew Baxter visited US on Monday last.
As he was once reckoned as one of the
"boys" he received a hearty welcome.
Our vocal teacher, Miss Cara Franklin,
made little visit to her friends in Austin.
last week. One of the girls suggests that
as feathered singers are won't to don
warmer, brighter plumage as the autumn
winds grow chilly, so she has followed the
example of her sister singers, and will short
ly edify us with the sight of becoming
new bonnet, as the fruit of her visit to the
city.
After an extended vacation, Miss Matte
Bugg and Mr.. Jim Killian are again at
school The former has long intended visit
ing relations in Tennessee, and possibly
making her future home there. Texas is
10th to lose her daughters. and we are glad
to learn she has deferred going indefinitely.
The members of our Eulalean society
eagerly accepted the invitation rendered
them by the Bellies Lettres to be present at
their meeting last Friday, and were very
agreeably entertained, and we can only
show our appreciation by proffering them
similar treat() next Friday.
Ex-Mayor Cock made us recent visit.
Interest in the school evinced by its pa
irons, and made apparent by an occasional
visit is appreciated alike by president and
pupils.
We noticed an ominous looking card
posted in the Chapel yesterday. 1t did not
commence with ''know all men by these
presents" etc., but it is law all the same to
the trespasser and evil-doer, aud we must
mind our manners or forfeit our merits.

"We've nil our angel side," says the poet.
And so our Texas though oftentimes un-
canny, a vixen and shrew. now presents
herself as 1.-The fairest smong ten thousand
and the one altogether lovely" We verify

role there is no other land or cline which
can surpass her. Her smiles cause us to
forget her frowns and tickle ways; with all
her faults we love her still"
